AUD/USD stays on the front foot around 0.6640 as it defends the previous day’s gains after bouncing off a six-week low. In doing so, the Aussie pair approaches the support-turned-resistance line stretched from early March, forming part of the previous bullish channel.

It’s worth noting, however, that the bearish MACD signals and sluggish RSI (14), can challenge the AUD/USD bulls around the 0.6655 previous support.

In a case where the Aussie buyers manage to cross the 0.6655 hurdle, its run-up towards the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the June-October 2022 downturn, near 0.6725, can’t be ruled out.

However, the 100-DMA and the top line of the aforementioned channel, respectively near 0.6795 and 0.6835, can challenge the AUD/USD bulls afterward.

Should the Aussie pair buyers manage to keep the reins past 0.6835, they can retake the driver’s seat.

Meanwhile, the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of 0.6595 restricts the immediate downside of the AUD/USD pair. Following that, the yearly low marked in March around 0.6565 will be in the spotlight.

If the AUD/USD bears manage to conquer the 0.6565 support, multiple levels near 0.6530-25 can challenge the Aussie pair’s downside before giving control to the sellers.

Overall, AUD/USD remains on the bear’s radar even if the upside room appears limited.

AUD/USD gains traction near 0.7100 as the post-Fed USD rally pauses

AUD/USD finds fresh buyers and retakes 0.7100 in the Asian session on Thursday as the US Dollar pauses its hawkish Fed-inspired rally to its highest level since late July.

USD/JPY reverses a dip below 156.00 as focus shifts to BoJ

USD/JPY is reversing a brief dip below 156.00 in the Asian session on Thursday, looking to snap a three-day winning streak to a nearly two-week top set the previous day. The US Dollar pauses following the post-Fed rally to seven-week highs, while a more hawkish repricing of the BoJ's policy normalization path supports the Japanese Yen. This keeps the pair's upside limited, with the focus now shifting to the BoJ policy decision due on Friday.

Gold retakes $4,300 amid modest USD pullback but hawkish Fed caps upside

Gold climbs back above the $4,300 mark heading into the European session on Thursday, though it remains within striking distance of a six-week low touched the previous day. The US Dollar eases after touching a fresh high since late July and offers some support to the commodity. However, the Fed's hawkish outlook, along with escalating Middle East tensions, should continue to underpin the safe-haven and cap the non-yielding bullion.

XRP and XLM rebound amid mixed signals

Ripple (XRP) and Stellar (XLM) extend their recovery at the time of writing on Thursday after finding support at key technical levels. However, mixed derivatives and on-chain data for both altcoins suggest that traders remain cautious and have yet to show strong conviction in a sustained rebound. Derivatives data shows a mixed and cautious outlook among traders.

BoE expected to hold interest rate at 3.75%

The Bank of England (BoE) is set to reveal its latest monetary policy decision on Thursday, coinciding with its sixth rate-setting meeting of 2026. Market analysts expect the central bank to keep its benchmark interest rate steady at 3.75%, which should be its sixth hold in a row following December’s 25-bps rate cut.

How Japan became the World's Banker and why that era may be ending

Japan's ultra-low interest rates helped finance trillions of dollars in global investments for more than a decade, making the Japanese Yen one of the world’s cheapest sources of funding. With the Bank of Japan expected to tighten policy again this week, that advantage may be entering a new phase. While most major economies raised interest rates, Japan remained the world's outlier.
